The Alchemist - written by Ben Jonson (Shakespeare’s saucier contemporary) this show is fast paced, witty and fun. Directed by John Bell, a cast of 12 actors will hit the stage and use all their skills in stand up comedy, clowning and burlesque to deliver big laughs, outrageous characters and a great night out.

The Alchemist follows three con artists and sees them dexterously swindle lawyers, widows, sex addicts and power hungry preachers - but will they get away with it?

The deceitful trio hoodwink their victims with numerous cons from alchemy to feng shui – and while the details of the scams change with time, the mechanics of the con, and the gullibility of human nature, remain just the same.
